IRIS & STEEL are a British indie folk group with a timeless and original sound. Their songs are intimate and uplifting, carried by soulful strings, sophisticated songwriting and three-part harmonies.
Based in London, the all-female and non-binary quartet comprises guitarist and lead songwriter Lydia Higman, lead vocalist Olivia Poust, cellist George Lloyd-Owen and violinist Athena Hawksley-Walker.
After forming at University and first sharing their music via social media during lockdown, the band funded their self-produced debut EP What People Do via Kickstarter in 2022.
The band have built up a following through their captivating live shows including three sold-out London headlines at Paper Dress Vintage (Feb ’25), Waiting Room (Oct ’23), and Camden Club (Nov ’22), a Camden Assembly residency, and a packed-out performance at Latitude Festival 2023, after being personally invited to perform by BRIT award-winning artist George Ezra, who discovered the band on Spotify. They formed part of Ezra’s specially curated line-up for The Alcove; the stage billed by Latitude as discovering the stars of tomorrow.
Iris & Steel release their brand-new EP ‘Colour Of My Mind’ on 23rd May 2025.
Doors open 7pm. Music starts 8.30pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited and available on a first come first served basis so, if you’d like a seat, we recommend arriving early!
